Medical Research Foundation
The fellowship supports the Crisis Narrative research.
Lived experience at the centre
The planned Lived Experience Advisory Group will help shape the questions, participant materials, interpretation and communication of the research.
Involvement is distinct from taking part as a research participant. People can ask about advising on the study without agreeing to contribute an interview or survey response.
Working together
The programme seeks input from nurses, bereaved families, occupational health professionals, researchers and organisations with an interest in nursing and suicide prevention. Enquiries about collaboration are welcome.
Team and advisory roles will be described here as appointments and participation are confirmed.
